A few years ago, I was doing okay on Clickbank when I ran into a problem. Someone who came across my affiliate link went to the checkout page, found my affiliate ID, and reported me to Clickbank for spamming, and I was shut down.

At the time, I was iframing the direct link, and just dropping my cookie as an image, like this.

The problem was, no matter what, my affiliate ID was still always (and still is) available at the bottom of the checkout page.

It got me thinking.

If I could send each "hop" to the site with a different cookie, then even if I was reported, Clickbank might shut down that one account, but I'd still be okay with the rest. It wouldn't kill my promotion for the rest of the day.

So I guess my question is, does anyone out there know how this can be done? Since the images aren't really "images," I wasn't sure if a normal PHP image rotator would work (or how to set it up).

I'd want it to be able to handle a large list, as I'd be adding new affiliate links to it constantly.

It works exactly like you're expecting. The only catch might be ClickBank linking your accounts. But the rotation is pretty straightforward and will do what you want. Let me know if you need the php code for it.

I just got to thinking about it. Clickbank has since put a frame-breaker into their payment page, so in IE, when I click the checkout link, it looks like it erases the cookie and sends them to the payment page with no affiliate ID.

This might be a problem.

You don't need to frame it. Unless I'm missing what you're saying... but I do something very similar (random affiliate rotation) and I don't have any problems.
